This study used prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the acoustic startle reflex as a physiological measure to determine the sensitivity to a break in interaural correlation (BIC) in binaural gap detection and compared this physiological measure with the traditional behavioral measure. Results show that BIC could be used as a prepulse to induce PPI at different interaural delays. Furthermore, the PPIs induced by BIC at an interaural delay of 4ms, but not 0, 2, or 8ms, were correlated with the BIC delay threshold. These findings suggest that the BIC-induced PPI paradigm may serve as an objective measure of binaural gap detection.
